I was hoping to have this post up on Friday in the spiritย of Halloween, but per usual, life got in the way. This past weekend I took plane rides #10 & #11 (this month) to and from Chicago to visit my college friends.ย (M’f’ing jetsetter, you guys. I was looking at my United log and I’ve flown 15,972 miles in the month of October alone. Soo much fun obviously, but so exhausting at the same time.) The trip back to New York went smoothly, however, the trip to Chicago on Friday was a total pain in the ass. Plane took off two hours late due to mechanical issues… Wifi on the plane was broken… O’hare shut down all but one runway because of the crazy wind and rain and we had to fly around Chicago for an hour before landing… Basically, my usual two-hour trip took six hours. And the weather in Chicago was bru-tal when I got in. Oh, and I forgot a coat in my mad dash to Laguardia that morning. But even with all of that, it was (as always)ย an amazingย weekend in Chitown! Since I had barely any time at home to prepare for Halloween this year, I took a pretty easy route with my costume.ย Since I already look like Amanda Seyfried in her ‘Mean Girls’ days (or so people tell me), I wore mouse ears and aย sweatshirt that said “I’m a mouse, duh.” (You can see the photo on Instagram here!) What did you dress up as this year??
Back to this post, though..ย The weekend before last I was out in Las Vegas with the Zappos team! Hallie, Justin, Anthony and I flew out on Friday and spent the whole weekend in the dessert with our favorite online retailer. In between shows at the Life is Beautiful music festival, we basically got to play dress up with the Zappos closet.ย While Zappos is obviously known for their huge shoe selection, the site is also stocked with clothes, bags, jewelry, watches, hats, outerwear, sunglasses, cold-weather accessories, etc.
We spent Saturday morning styling looks and shooting photos around downtown Las Vegas with their in-house photographer, Pete. This particular outfit is a little bit darker than what I normally go for, but I kind of love it. I must have been in the spooky spirit a week earlyย because I feel like this look is a bit witchy. Black lace, pointed pumps, and a black hat to match. Witchy, but totally wearable, too.
Everything I’m wearing was borrowed from Zappos!
AH! Sounds like a crazy trip, but I’m so glad you made it! The weather was BRUTAL here on Friday. It was snowing and hailing! Ugh! Hope you borrowed a coat from a friend! ๐

Fun! Take a breather this week…if possible! Fleetwood Mac was in town (didn’t see them but did in 1982) and so first thought of Stevie Nicks. Although a younger and more stylish version….it was the black & lace. You were it well & looks classy!

I can’t believe you flew that much, and I’m secretly jealous that you live in New York. But it sounds like it is time to take a rest. But this look is stunning, that dress looks so classic.
Beautiful dress! These heels are perfect with it.

Sounds like you had a really brutal trip to Chicago!
I love the way you managed to wear all black but not look like a walking shadow! The lace detailing is great.

All of the craziness of flying is always worth is when you recount the wonderful memories you’ve created. I love the black & gold ensemble in this post. Happy Tuesday, Jessica ๐

I can’t decide what I love more – the hat or the dress!
Can we talk about that lipstick for a minute though? It is THE perfect shade of red for you!
*sigh* If only Zappos shipped internationally ๐
You are by far the cutest thing I have ever seen! I love this entire black look! You look great!

First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually
lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Many thanks!
Nice and perfect looking outfit..
